Re: Undersea War Fighter - CCR Module - DEMA 2010

Yeah but your glock might take your hand off if you shoot it UW without modification

Nope.

Every 3rd round or so would not auto-load. And that was with the 1st gen Glock 17

This was only 9mm, though, with something bigger I would be a bit more careful (I knew it had been done with the 9mm, there was even an article in a Norwegian diving magazine)

Still, make sure your barrel does not contain airbubbles when you do it, as bubbles tend to let the bullet accellerate fast, and then suddenly decellerate, leading to barrel bulges. Also firing it deeper than 5m is supposedly unpleasant.

Re: Undersea War Fighter - CCR Module - DEMA 2010

This part of the thread seems pretty laughable. Great in the movies to shoot underwater etc but max effective range of a typical bullet in the water is very short, the Russians came up with a great UW weapon based on the AK that shot a 7.62mm round that was basically a 4” dart but effective range of that was still fairly short. But beyond all that if your fighting other divers you’ve already lost the game because if you are the defender it makes more sense to just drop a grenade or two over the side then clean up any mess they made attempting to sabotage stuff and if you’re the aggressor you’re more likely to see that grenade coming down to than another diver.

So anyway keep up the funny arguments but it’s pretty moot because the weapons would be deployed at the surface and the reason for the pistol is so you have something fast for defense while you deploy your long gun from a dry bag.

The only argument we had was IF the pistol would work underwater, without blowing up, or if it would cycle.

But, yes, it is VERY efficient for killing fish. And possibly other divers. And if I ever found myself in a "underwater war", I would rather have a Glock than a knife...
